Another CGI offering which leaves you wondering when the industry will produce decent material. But hey - you're an actor you do the thing & pick up the cheque! The problem with ' made in a computer film ' is that it shows! For me technology nerd be tempered with story quality,too much ' cheap thrills ' ate sought nowadays. The actors have done better than the piffle in this offering,from Steve Baldwin to ' the smoking man ' - but there are many such heavy on the tech - low on content films at present.The most that can be said is these allow you to throw the main breaker to your brain & watch in a stupor,you won't miss much!
... View Moreeugh, this is not a very good film. There is simply nothing 'A'-grade about it; indeed even the 'A' that should have been on the back of Stephen Baldwin's 'R nge Rover' came out in sympathy, it seems.Now I will own up to having watched some absolute stinkers in my time, and I've even derived some amusement from them; provided my expectations are set low enough ahead of time, any morsel of quality on offer is much appreciated.But here, pickings are so thin that I found myself mulling over various inconsequential details, like why it is that the bad guy wears more lipstick than most of the female actors, why it is that some of the 'scientists' wear their obligatory white coats even when they are not at work, and why it is I kept thinking of 'Mr Potato Head' at intervals throughout the film.Those steeped in this genre will doubtless be familiar with such equally whiffy titles as 'Stonehenge Apocalypse' in which various elements of this film are seemingly later recycled.If you must watch this film, I suggest that you lower your expectations as much as you can manage, get your chums round with a few beers, and play a game where you drink some beer every time you see or hear some nonsense. Bring plenty of beer.Remember folks, "it isn't so much a science, as a new way of life..."
... View MoreI am an avid fan of all sci-fi including the old 50's stuff but this was so, so bad it was embarrassing. I was only trying to kill a bit of time before the wife picked me up but nearly ended up killing myself. I must admit I do watch even the worst films to the end, but started daydreaming about how I was going to fix that loose piece of wallpaper behind the TV and missed the end. Poor acting/story to say the least and Baldwins was the worst I have ever seen....poor dialogue...vacant {I was going to say thoughtful!} stares into nowhere. The best line that had me in tears was to the captain "They sent in an assault team sir". I only saw two men attack the fully guarded base! {Think A team} Fairplay Baldwins professor colleague helped pull his acting performance up...shame because he has done a couple of good films. 3 out of 10 due to the not so bad special effects for a TV movie. If your going to watch it, think of your worst enemy then go and make friends with him....you will get a lot more satisfaction!
... View MoreI had to stay up with my young son last night and thought Dark Storm looked vaguely interesting compared to the other pap on offer. No. It was the aura of car crash TV that kept me watching. A fat Stephen Baldwin acting worse than my armchair does. My word, I've never seen anyone so bad in a film. His scientist sidekick and the villain at least were professional and I could believe they were actors, but Mr. Baldwin gave the standout worst "acting performance" I have ever had the misfortune of sitting in front of. Whatever you do, do not waste an hour or two of your precious life on this utter shower of *&^%. Spend the time more fruitfully in staring at a blank wall, or cutting your toenails.
